I can actually help in this! My 01 does this from time to time. I knew that the fuses were linked with the hazards, so i just depressed the hazard button once and then released it. It works every time. I am sure there is some technical problem that causes this, but my philosphy is that if that works every time, then oh well.
Interesting but no help in my case. The turn signals on my 01 have failed to work 3 or 4 times over the 3 1/2 years I've had the car. There is no apparent reason and in all cases they have started to work on their own in an hour or two. The hazards continue to function, the wipers still work, but the left and right signal lights do not work -no clicking, no arrow indicator, and of course no flashing lights. It must be an intermittent problem in the switch controlled by the lever. Depressing the hazard button doesn't help start them again. Working the lever a few times sometimes helps, but mostly they just start working on their own. I was hoping it would fail and get fixed under warranty but it always has fixed itself before I could get to the dealer. Last occurance was last Sunday. I thought, "You just had to wait to fail until it was on my ticket, didn't you". Then they started working again and are still good. It's a bit of a nuisance because I never know when they will fail!
